I prefer the Carreras with OEM look.

[QUOTE=halo777;13872669]Although I do like the sleek look of the 997 sans wing, I think it looks much better with the RIGHT wing, than without one. I had the 997 turbo setup on the back, until I recently sold it. The car has a little less impact visually, now that I have temporarily gone back to stock.

I ran the 997 turbo lower wing for awhile, without the top. It has a cool look, kind of like a wider ducktail. And OEM fitment cant be beat. Aside from the wiring, fitting it is four bolts (two on each side) and you are done.

Im located in Toronto and have another 997 turbo decklid for sale, if you want to do a quick test fit to see how it looks on your car. This was mine with just the lower






Looks great!
I'm on the fence adding a rear wing. Agree on the low profile wide look. Might consider this option.

Factory aero is OEM look or you prefer no aero at all?

My latest 997 also came with factory aero like you posted above, it is on the build sheet and definitely makes a difference. I don't have the side skirts though.

I like spoilers, but i can also appreciate the clean non-spoiler look. It all depends on the rest of the mods. Don't do an aggressive rear spoiler and leave the rest of the car stock.

I did not know that was the factory Aero option, love that look. I'll keep and eye out for these.
Suncoast currently has the front piece but not the rear spolier.

I like the OE aero wing, especially from this angle.

That front lip looks awesome, too bad there aren't many reasonably priced options for a 997.1
